9. I wonder if the current Extreme Court will ignore illegal search and seizure.

From the article:

The human toll of this kind of government surveillance is grave. It can have far-reaching consequences for people’s lives — particularly for members of communities of color, who are disproportionately subject to unjustified surveillance. This is especially harmful because it subjects everyday people to unwarranted scrutiny by law enforcement, and allows the government to amass information about millions of people’s ordinary activities without justification. This kind of routine surveillance is corrosive, and it chills the very kind of speech and association on which democracy depends.

These records paint a damning portrait of government overreach. The government should not be allowed to abuse subpoenas and sweep up millions of records on a huge number of people without any basis for suspicion. This financial surveillance program is built on repeated violations of the law and must be shut down.
